Side-by-side benchmark comparison across knowledge, coding, math, and reasoning.
Gemini 1.0 Pro is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 53 to 43. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Gemini 1.0 Pro's sharpest advantage is in mathematics, where it averages 62.4 against 26.4. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Verified, 5 to 54.6. GPT-4.1 does hit back in coding, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
GPT-4.1 gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 32K for Gemini 1.0 Pro.
Pick Gemini 1.0 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. GPT-4.1 only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you need the larger 1M context window.
